The brother of the traitorous former MP

Oleg Tsarev

was sentenced to life imprisonment for preparing explosions in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

The court sentenced Mykhailo Tsarev to five years in prison.

This was reported by the SBU press center.

Now Mykhailo Tsarev is asking to be included in the exchange lists to go to Russia.

SBU employees

detained the brother of the traitorous People's Deputy in May of this year

during a special operation in Dnipro.

"According to the investigation, he carried out the tasks of the Russian special services to destabilize the socio-political situation in the Dnipropetrovsk region. For this purpose, he prepared a series of explosions at strategically important objects of transport and critical infrastructure. For this, the occupiers promised him the "chair" of the head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional state administration in case of capture of the region," the message reads.

Employees of the Security Service timely exposed the intruder and established control over him even at the initial stage of subversive activity.

During the searches, the law enforcement officers found weapons and ammunition, TNT bombs for committing acts of terrorism, bank cards and passports of Russian citizens in a specially equipped cache.

The court found the defendant guilty under Art.

258 (terrorist act) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

It will be recalled that Oleg Tsarev

, a former member of the Verkhovna Rada,  was charged with treason.
